Calling the expiration of stimulus funds a "cut" to the food stamp program is akin to calling the expiration of tax credits a "tax increase," and I thought Democrats argued that the tax credit expiration wasn't a tax increase. You can't have it both ways.

I was hoping for the UALR site (with good compensation for property owners). I can't believe that on top of $22 million, the city had to throw in "support from the mayor's office" (whatever that means) and downtown partnership do fundraising to sweeten the pot. This just means more taxpayer dollars and still no money from the "partners."

1) They are using metro area population figures - So it's really Conway and Bryant that's pulling us up to no. 1. I wait for the day that these lists review the actual city and not a metro area.

Median home value: $195,762

There seems to be a disconnect between median household income and median home value. Not many families making a combined $47,731 can pull off a $195,762 mortgage (assuming the property was bought for something within 10 percent of that value)

Hmmmm, didn't they "break ground" on the apartments a few years ago. If memory serves, the first K lofts were supposed to be finished shortly after the restaurant was completed. Or am I misremembering?

On his blog, Pulaski County Circuit Judge Wendell Griffen defends granting the drug supplier McKesson's request to issue a temporary restraining order against the Arkansas Department of Correction from using a drug supplied by McKesson in executions. Shortly after granting the temporary restraining order on Friday, Griffen joined an anti-death penalty protest outside the Governor's Mansion.

Save Our Schools is pressing Education Commissioner Johnny Key to meet about his decision to close Little Rock schools without considering community impact. The broad group makes it pitch while Key is asking for $600 million in new tax authorization from Little Rock voters, who have been without an elected school board for two years.

Arkansas Public Service Commission Chair Ted Thomas is getting attention for calling out Trump administration climate policy. He even acknowledges the role of carbon burning and humans in climate change.
